Edward Boulos, Founder
Edward J. Boulos founded OE&S in 1955. Recognizing the impact that an efficient and inspiring workplace could have on his customer’s success, he worked diligently to make certain they were making an investment and not simply incurring additional expenses. Many of the customer relationships, forged in the early years of OE&S, have continued throughout the company’s history.
